When you're searching for new drums and accessories, your first instinct might be to narrow your options down by looking at the sticker price. But that's something you shouldn't have to do, which is one of many reasons to consider Pacific Drums & Percussion. Their mission is to deliver world-class instruments that anybody can afford, so when you choose PDP, you can pick out the drums and hardware you like best without having to worry about your budget.

PDP was founded in 2000 under close association with Drum Workshop. The idea was a simple one: that every drummer should have access to high-end gear. They offer individual drums, percussion instruments and hardware for the die-hard customizer, as well as complete kits if you're looking to get up and running from scratch.

For a new drummer, the Z5 series of drum sets is a great place to start your look through the PDP lineup. These are designed to be student-friendly, with hardwood construction that sounds great and can take a beating. Choose the shell pack if you'd like to pick out your own cymbals and stands, or the 5-Piece Junior Drum Set for a more comprehensive option that includes everything you need to start playing.

If you're an experienced drummer looking for a stage-ready, professional-level kit, check out the Concept series. These maple shell packs are loaded with nice features, like suspension tom mounts and top-shelf hardware. Of course, if you'd prefer for a completely custom setup, you can do that as well, thanks to PDP's impressive selection of individual drums, stands, racks, pedals, thrones and other essentials for building your kit from the ground up.

PDP drums and percussion instruments have been put through their paces onstage by artists like Stephen Perkins of Jane's Addiction, Adrian Ost of Powerman 5000 and Aaron Spears of Usher. With those kinds of credentials proving they can handle any gig, it's no surprise if you're craving a PDP set of your own. And that's the best part: these drums are priced to be completely within your reach no matter your situation.
